Welling­ton: The US at­tempt to ex­tra­dite Kim Dot­com and three other men from New Zealand should be halted in­def­i­nitely, de­fence lawyers say. Mr Dot­com and his three co-ac­cused - Bram Van der Kolk, Matthias Ort­mann and Finn Batato - have ap­pealed against a North Shore Dis­trict Court judge­ment rul­ing them el­i­gi­ble for ex­tra­di­tion to the United States.
